New Adventures presents Quiet Revolutions

A short film capturing the grit and grace of community dance artists navigating financial precariousness and personal doubt.

Two people stand at the top of a large pyramid-like structure made from stacked yellow metal frames in an open park. One raises an arm while the other stands beside them. Bare trees and a wide grassy landscape surround the structure beneath dark, dramatic storm clouds.

SAFE – A film by Eva Rothschild

SAFE is a single-take film that documents a group of teenage boys playing, chatting, chasing and dancing on the pyramid playground by artist Eva Rothschild.

Two dancers strike a dramatic pose among rocks and mist, with a softly lit building in the background.

An underwater scene shows a scuba diver in full gear giving a thumbs‑up gesture while facing another person wearing a breathing mask and casual clothing. Air bubbles float upward as both figures hover in clear blue water, with light filtering down from above.
